Abstract

The calculations of ore reserves in the Borov Dol deposit were mainly carried out with the support of the AutoCAD software package, and those results received official confirmation in the Republic of North Macedonia. The latest calculation using MICROMINE provides a wider range of use of source data from detailed geological surveys and rapid correlation between metals and associated elements in the deposit. The MICROMINE procedure for the calculation of ore reserves in the Borov Dol deposit consists of several stages starting from: creation of new project and related data base (Excel and Micromine), Micromine database validation process, building and creating wireframe, creation of the particular block model as well as calculation of ore reserves by MICROMINE software package. The obtained results are highly correlative and compatible with the same obtained through the method of vertical parallel profiles calculated using the AutoCAD software package (difference 1.21%).
